The great thing about French toast is that it is simple enough to make on a weekday, but special enough to add to your weekend brunch menu<\/a>. And this brioche French toast recipe will\u00a0take your next batch of French toast to the next level. The light and airy, yet rich and flavorful French bread is perfect (parfait!<\/em>) for this sweet breakfast recipe.<\/p>\n In a shallow dish, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract and salt.\u00a0Preheat a greased griddle over medium heat.<\/p>\n Dip the bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for five seconds on each side.<\/p>\n Cook the bread on a griddle until it’s golden brown on both sides. Serve it with your favorite toppings.<\/p>\n Leftover French toast can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. You can reheat leftovers in the microwave for about a minute, or toast them in a hot skillet with a little butter.<\/p>\n Of course, brioche French toast pairs perfectly with a generous drizzle of maple syrup. It also tastes great when topped with fresh berries. If you have the time, consider making an easy blueberry sauce<\/a> or apple-pear compote<\/a> topping for the French toast. As for sides, all of the breakfast and brunch staples work well here\u2014like bacon, breakfast sausage patties<\/a>\u00a0and even scrambled eggs<\/a>.<\/p>\n If your brioche bread French toast is soggy, it’s likely because your bread is too fresh. Be sure it has slightly dried out before using it. (Even popping the slices in the toaster on the lightest setting will help.) Avoid letting the bread sit in the custard for too long; five seconds on each side is really all it needs.<\/p>\n Let any excess custard drip off before transferring the bread to the hot griddle. Make sure your griddle isn’t too hot; if the heat is set too high, the French toast will quickly brown on the outside, but won’t cook all the way through. You can also prevent sogginess by placing the cooked French toast on a wire rack set on a baking sheet, then baking it for an additional five to seven minutes in a 350\u00b0 oven.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Soft, buttery, sweet brioche bread is the star of this decadent brioche French toast recipe.
